Investigating the causal impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on gestational diabetes mellitus: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Introduction: Determining the causal relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) holds significant implications for GDM prevention and treatment. Despite numerous observational studies suggesting an association between PCOS and GDM, it remains unclear whether a definitive causal relationship exists between these two conditions and which specific features of PCOS contribute to increased incidence of GDM. Methods: The causal relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), its characteristic indices, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was investigated using a two-sample Mendelian randomization study based on publicly available statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The inverse-variance weighted method was employed as the primary analytical approach to examine the association between PCOS, its characteristic indices, and GDM. MR Egger intercept was used to assess pleiotropy, while Q values and their corresponding P values were utilized to evaluate heterogeneity. It is important to note that this study adopts a two-sample MR design where PCOS and its characteristic indices are considered as exposures, while GDM is treated as an outcome. Results: The study results indicate that there is no causal relationship between PCOS and GDM (all methods P > 0.05, 95% CI of OR values passed 1). The IVW OR value was 1.007 with a 95% CI of 0.906 to 1.119 and a P value of 0.904. Moreover, the MR Egger Q value was 8.141 with a P value of 0.701, while the IVW Q value was also 8.141 with a P value of 0.774, indicating no significant heterogeneity. Additionally, the MR Egger intercept was 0.0004, which was close to zero with a P value of 0.988, suggesting no pleiotropy. However, the study did find a causal relationship between several other factors such as testosterone, high-density lipoprotein, sex hormone-binding globulin, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, apolipoprotein A-I, number of children, diabetes illnesses of mother, father and siblings, hemoglobin A1c, fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, years of schooling, and GDM based on the IVW method. Conclusion: We observed no association between genetically predicted PCOS and the risk of GDM, implying that PCOS itself does not confer an increased susceptibility to GDM. The presence of other PCOS-related factors such as testosterone, high-density lipoprotein, and sex hormone-binding globulin may elucidate the link between PCOS and GDM. Based on these findings, efforts aimed at preventing GDM in individuals with PCOS should prioritize those exhibiting high-risk features rather than encompassing all women with PCOS.

A follow up study of body fat distribution and blood pressure among 6-9 years old children in Beijing / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore the association of body fat mass and distribution indices including fat mass percentage (FMP), visceral fat area (VFA) and percentage of trunk fat mass (%TFM) with blood pressure in children to inform early management of blood pressure in children.@*Methods@#Based on the Beijing Child Growth and Health Cohort in Shunyi District, lifestyle questionnaire survey, baseline and follow up physical examination were conducted among children from October to November 2018 and September 2020. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure the body composition, and 1 098 participants with completed data were finally included.@*Results@#Both body fat indices and blood pressure increased with age in boys and girls. For FMP, VFA, and %TFM, no significant differences presented between sex at baseline, while FMP, VFA, and %TFM were significantly higher in boys than girls at follow up ( t=2.73, 3.76, 3.41, P <0.01). Before and after adjusting for age, height and lifestyles or not, linear mixed effect models showed longitudinal associations existing between body fat indices and blood pressure in both boys and girls ( β=0.64-3.48, P <0.05). The association coefficients of body fat indices with systolic blood pressure were ranked as %TFM>FMP>VFA in both boys and girls. The association coefficients of body fat indices with diastolic blood pressure were ranked sequentially as FMP>%TFM>VFA in boys, and VFA>FMP>%TFM in girls.@*Conclusion@#Longitudinal associations are observed between body fat indices and blood pressure in children. Primordial prevention of high pressure should pay attention on body fat distribution.

Ecological driving on multiphase trajectories and multiobjective optimization for autonomous electric vehicle platoon.

Autonomous electric vehicles promise to improve traffic safety, increase fuel efficiency and reduce congestion in future intelligent transportation systems. Ecological driving characteristics are first studied to concentrate on energy consumption, the ability to quickly pass its destination, etc. of autonomous electric vehicle plans (AEVPs) to maximize total energy efficiency benefits. To realize this goal, an optimal control model is developed to provide ecological driving suggestions to AEVPs. The Radau pseudospectral method (RPM) is adopted to put the optimal control model into nonlinear programs (NLP), and multiobjective optimization, including safety, economy and fast mobility, is considered, which conditions and constraints such as vehicle dynamics, traffic rules, and energy consumption. To enhance optimal model applicability, two ecological driving procedures are proposed. One procedure is that two-phase trajectory optimization and ecological driving states, such as velocity and acceleration, for the leading vehicle are developed according to RPM characteristics, while the other provides a set of targeted driving states to the following vehicles. The objective of the procedure is to minimize the total energy consumption of AEVPs, while travel comfort and safety are integrated into the schematization by optimization functions. Numerical experiments illustrate significance when ecological driving strategy for AEVPs considers energy consumption characteristics, thereby ensuring total energy consumption efficiency for AEVPs.

Interference of CD38 monoclonal antibody in blood compatibility testing and its countermeasures: A general consensus among experts / 中国输血杂志

With continuous discovery of tumor immune targets and continuous changes in antibody research and development technology, antibody drugs are becoming more and more widely used in clinical practice. However, some targets are not only expressed on tumor cells, but also on red blood cells. Therefore, the clinical application of antibodies against the corresponding targets may interfere with the detection of blood transfusion compatibility, resulting in difficulty in blood matching or delay of blood transfusion. This consensus summarizes the current solutions for the interference of CD38 monoclonal antibody (CD38 mAb) in transfusion compatibility testing. After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of different methods, polybrene and sulfhydryl reducing agents [dithiothreitol (DTT) or 2-mercaptoethanol (2-Me)], as a solution for CD38 mAb interference in blood compatibility testing, are recommended for Chinese patients, so as to eliminate blood transfusion interference produce by CD38 mAb and further provide a pre-transfusion workflow for clinicians and technicians in Department of Blood Transfusion.

Evaluation of modified IAT with twoself-made low ionic-strength solutions / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To explore the clinical applications of low ionic strength salt solution polyethylene glycol (LISS-PEG) and low ionic strength salt solution bovine serum albumin (LISS-BSA) in the indirect antiglobulin test (IAT). 【Methods】 The common standard red blood cell(RBC) IgG irregular antibodies (anti-D, anti-M, anti-N, anti-S, anti-s, anti-Jka, anti-Jkb, anti-Fya, anti-Fyb, anti-Dia, anti-K) were reacted with RBCs with corresponding antigens in IAT with LISS-PEG and LISS-BSA modification for 5-minute and 10-minute incubations, and then compared the results with conventional IAT. One hundred of blood samples from patients presenting irregular antibodies of erythrocyte IgG were selected to observe the effect of these two self-made modification. The agglutination intensity was recorded by AABB scoring method. 【Results】 No difference was noticed in IAT intensity reaction between LISS-PEG 5-minute and 15-minute incubation (P>0.05), nor between 5-minute/15-minute LISS-BSA incubation and conventional IAT (P>0.05). However, LISS-PEG modification demonstrated a significant superiority over the conventional technique just after incubation with 5 minutes(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Using the self-made LISS-PEG as the enhancement medium allows not only reduced incubation time (5 minutes) but also increased intensity of the reaction, which shortens the cross-matching time for emergency blood transfusion and is worthy of popularization.

Clinical significance of neutrophil and albumin pretreatments in nasopharyngeal carcinoma prognosis / 中国肿瘤临床

Objective:To investigate the association of pretherapeutic neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, and serum albumin levels with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) prognosis in 401 patients. Methods:This study involved 401 NPC patients recently diagnosed and admitted in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, China. Laboratory variables, such as immunology-related parameters and albumin level prior to treatment, were analyzed. The overall survival and disease-free survival rates were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and were then compared using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model to identify prognostic factors. Results:Patients with neutrophil counts>5.20×109/L (n=172) had significantly lower overall survival and disease-free survival rates compared with those with neutrophil counts≤5.20×109/L (n=229) (P=0.014, P=0.009). In the 401 NPC cases, patients with high albumin levels (>43.00 g/L;n=253) had significantly higher overall survival (P=0.000) and disease-free survival (P=0.006) rates compared with those with low albumin levels (≤43.00 g/L;n=148). Multivariate analysis showed that the neutrophil level is an in-dependent risk factor for disease-free survival, whereas the albumin level is a strong independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Conclusion:The pretherapeutic neutrophil and albumin levels are independent prognostic factors for survival in NPC patients.

Preventive effect of low molecular weight heparin on coagulative disturbance in rabbits with trauma infection / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of low molecular weight heparin or tranexamic acid in the rabbits with hypercoagulation induced by impact injury and intravenous infusion of the endotoxin. Methods Combination of impact injury and endotoxin was created by strike on rabbit chest with type BIM-Ⅱ biological impact machine and injection of endotoxin via vein.Thirty-two male New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups in a completely random design as follows:impact injury combined with endotoxin without treatment group(control group),treatment with low molecular weight heparin(L group),treatment with tranexamic acid(TA group),and treatment with low molecular weight heparin and tranexamie acid(L+TA group).The changes of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were observed by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;changes of antithrombin-Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)activity,tissue factor(TF)and tissue factor pathway inhibitors(TFPI)were detected by the chromogenic substrate method chromozym P:the content of fibrinogen was observed by coagulation analyzer.The lung and kidney were removed from the experimental animals at 24 hours post impact injury forhistopathologic observation. Results In the control group,the activity of AT-Ⅲ was decreased obviously.while the content of fibrinogen and the activity of TF and TFPl were increased,with formation of the thrombosis in the kidney after injection of PLS.Compared with control group,the activity of TF and the content of IL-1β and IL-6 were reduced but the TFPI was increased in the L group,which resulted in a decrease of TF/TFPI ratio.with decrease of formation of the micro-thrombosis in the organs.The content of IL-1β and IL-6 in the TA group were reduced,which was still higher than that in tIle L group.In the TA group.the activity of IF and TFPI Was lower than that in the L group and control group,with higher TF/TFPI ratio than the L group.The frequency of thrombosis increased in pulmonary artery and other important organs.The content of IL-1β and IL-6 in the L+TA group wag lower than that in the L group.In the L+TA group.the activity ofTF was lower than that inthe L group and control group,but the activity of TFPI was higher than that in the L group and control group.with lower TF/TFPI ratio than the L group.There found no increase of thrombus in the pulmonary arterial and other important organs. Conclusions Besides anticoagulation function,the low molecular weight heparin can inhibit the inflanunation reaction,reduce the release of TF and attenuate the coagulation reaction.On the basis of treatment with low molecular weight heparin,application of the tranexamic acid will not lead to the formation of thrombus,but the only use of the tranexamic acid would have the contrary results.The rtsults of the study provide a theoretical and experimental basis for clinical diagnosis and prevention of hypercoagulation induced by injury and infection.

Radiographical diagnosis of posttraumatic knee joints hemarthrosis and lipohemarthrosis / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To explore the imaging findings and diagnostic values of X-ray, CT, MR,and ultrasonography in traumatic knee joints hemarthrosis and lipohemarthrosis. Methods Traumatic knee joints hemarthrosis (12 knees) and lipohemarthrosis (18 knees) proved by operation (27 knees) or puncturation (3 knees) were included in the study. Horizontal-beam plain radiographs (16 knees), CT (30 knees), MRI (30 knees) and ultrasonography (24 knees) in supine position were investigated. Results (1)supine position horizontal-beam plain radiographs: Fat-liquid layer was found in 8 cases of lipohemarthrosis. Dense supragenual bursa was found in 1 case of lipohemarthrosis and 7 cases of hemarthrosis. Fracture (13 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (2) CT findings: double fluid-fluid layer was found in 11 of all 18 cases, and single fluid-fluid layer was found in 7 of 11 cases of lipohemarthrosis. Single fluid-fluid layer was found in 3 of 12 cases of hemarthrosis. Isodensity was detected in 9 cases, and high-density blood clot was found in 4 cases. Fracture (30 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (3) MRI findings: in 12 of 18 cases of lipohemarthrosis, double fluid-fluid layer was shown including supernatant layer as short T1, long T2signal and low signal after fat-suppression, middle layer as long T1, long T2 signal and high signal after fat-suppression, and dependent layer as iso-T1, iso-T2 and slight high signal after fat-suppression. Single fluid-fluid layer was seen in 6 cases, only had aforementioned upper and under layer.Only aforementioned supernatant layer and dependent layer were seen in 12 cases of hemarthrosis. 4 cases showed entire blood clot in fluid, T1WI showed middle signal or center iso-signal accompanied with peripheral high signal ring, and fat-suppression imaging showed high signal. T2WI and fat-suppressionimaging showed middling or high signal accompanied with peripheral low signal ring. Fracture (30 knees) was diagnosed correctly. (4) Ultrasound findings: In 10 of 14 cases of lipohemarthrosis, double fluid-fluid level was shown, supernatant layer as equal echo, middle layer as echoless, and dependent layer as cloudy echo. Four cases with single fluid-fluid level only showed aforementioned upper and under layer. Three of 10 cases of hemarthrosis showed single fluid-fluid level, only showing aforementioned upper and under layer,and 7 cases showed cloudy echo and float. In 3 cases the fluid blood clot showed irregular shape low-equal echo bolus. No fracture hne was found. Conclusions CT can clearly detect fracture line, hemarthrosis and lipohemarthresis, and can substitute plain radiography. MRI is the best way to diagnose hemarthresis and lipohemarthrosis. Ultrasonography can be used in diagnosing hemarthresis and lipohemarthrosis but not helpful in the diagnosis of fracture.
